After amassing several concert and tenor ukes, I've concluded I really do prefer the concert body size but the tenor fretboard-- so my next purchase will be a super concert. I'd really prefer one with the crown bridge, but I'm open to one with the bowtie bridge. If you have one for sale, please PM me. Thanks!

PS: Also have LOTS of instruments to trade, if you like trades: guitars, banjos, mandolins, and ukes.

Howie1947 had a thread last month regarding possible sale of his crown bridge super concert. (http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?35824-Thinking-about-selling-my-KoAloha-Superconcert&highlight=superconcert)

I have mine with a bowtie bridge and it has relieved my UAS for months. Oh wait, I just bought a Makala dolphin to play in the car (while parked, not while driving).

Thanks! I have to say, it really is everything I wanted it to be--KoAloha has a big in fan in me. I had some regret initially in not getting the crown bridge, but, y'know, I don't spend a lot of time looking at the bridge... but I DO spend a lot of time listening to the tone, and the tone is awesome!

I am always amazed by the reaction I get from other players when I play my KoAloha Super Concert.
The concert body and the long neck just combine perfectly.
It is common for people to walk across the room to check out the little box with the great voice.
I sure like the looks of the crown bridge, matches the headstock and gives it the KoAloha special look.
